24 miles today

[elhoff]

Rode a new route today:  Bike paths to the south end of campus; Old Davis Road south; Tremont Road west to 80 frontage road; over 80 at the Pedrick Road overpass (scary trucks!); Seivers Road west; Stevenson Bridge Road north; Russell Blvd east back to campus; bike paths home.  I think I had a head wind in three out of four directions, WTF?  Little to no shoulder on any of these roads, but the few cars and trucks I came across gave a wide berth and were very polite.  These roads are straight, fairly level, and in pretty good shape.  Not too hard to cruise along at 16-17 MPH.  The Stevenson Bridge Road segment was the hardest: slight uphill, slight head wind, 13 miles into the ride.


Final stats:

24 miles

14.2 MPH average

some good riding company met along the route

I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but feeling pretty good right now.

The sidewalls of my tires are starting to crack pretty bad.  Need to get new tires (or a new bike) before I do this many more times.

you must be getting into pretty good shape with all this riding.
